Alright, guys. I'm back at it (can't let you rest, sorry 
) but this time I would like to know if it's possible to make the power limit in gwe permanent: i.e. not having to open the app each time you boot up the PC to set the power limit.
Also, the nvidia-xconfig --cool-bits=24 command did not seem to work? I'm not sure if it is xorg.conf which is being used or nvidia.conf. I'd like to keep things as they are because right now everything is working 
Since I don't want to litter up the whole forum with me asking 2000 questions: how can I edit what info conky displays? I'd like to add GPU temp.
-Cheers
